TAe Hon Edpard Cooper
Ny DEAR sIB: don't think the newspaper
clippings you send and now before me amount
to enough to even raise doubt concerning my
desire for the success Of both the State and the
New York local tickets In the coming election.
You know that am very much inclined to
abstain from any Interference with New York
city campaigns. fully believing the people OF
that city to be quite competent to manage
their affairs.
1t surely ought not to be considered any in
reference however. when I say in reply to
your letter. that the newspaper extracts which
you enclose totally misrepresent my wishes
and hopes in regard to the fate OF your Demo-
cratic local ticket. Ishall be very much pleased
to see 1t entirely successful.
know nothing which, II were voter in
the city Of New York. would prevent my sup
port Of Mr.. Fellows's candidacy without the
least misgvings as to his fitness, and with
considerable personal satisfaction.
Please present my congratulations to Mr..
Hewitt upon his excellent letter published this
morning. Yours very truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND.
